TMT fanboys make me laugh. Literally all the closest people to Floyd left him. Ishe Smith had issues with Floyd, Micky Bey and a lot more fighters also left.

Ishe smith and Mickey bums and Floyd gave them more opportunities than they should’ve. Speak facts

[@Queen45876]

IShe smith and Mickey bet both 🚮 and Floyd gave them multiple opportunities and Mickey bey also tested positive. It’s good they left.

[@serendipitouscomet]

TMT is good for fighters who are not elite, championship-level. They can negotiate and politic those fighters into opportunities and title fights they have no business being in. But if you have real talent, TMT doesn’t seem to have the ability to help those guys.

Micheal Jordan and Floyd Mayweather are the same. Both in my opinion are the GOAT however they are both terrible owners/promoters of their respective sports.

[@Obstakill]

Floyd can’t be that terrible. Look what he did for Tank & Rolly. He helped make tank the face of boxing. Then Rolly was never really a champion boxer and he helped make him a champ in 2 different weight classes....

[@darrellmason3148]

I believe Hackett weight class is possibly the reason for his inactivity with Mayweather Promotions. The welterweight division is not one of the most popular divisions right now, it was being held hostage by elder stars. Crawford,Spence, and a few more older fighters were trying to secure major money 💰 fights.

[@tmharks1]

Is Jalil any relation to Greg Hackett from Bozy's gym in Philly? Jalil seems very well grounded, respectful, and humble, this dude is gonna go far with this type of attitude!! Jake would be the best option, he got mad capital, and I love that he is pushing the idea that fighters should have health benefits and a pension plan as a customary aspect of their contracts, wheter its though some type of fighters union or through individual bargaining agreements, but it is a MUST!!! Especially the fact that boxers and MMA fighters have some of the shortest careers and suffer the most abuse to their minda and bodies!!

[@cmoorej.r]

The only promotion sound good to me is GTD Promotions they have a bond.. I hope he go there and stay under al hayman

[@ScoonTV]

The problem is PPV is the primary outlet for boxing and the PPV prices are through the roof for weak fight cards. Promoters take risk and must make money so the emphasis is on fighters who sell. Mexican fighters have a built in fan base. Black fighters have to be KO artists to gain attention. If you don't stop opponents it's tough to market a black fighter. That's Shakur's problem. Matchroom loses a lot of money. DAZN is a money dump. Saudi money will give boxing a boost. Ultimately,, DAZN's model is the future but America is the Mecca of boxing. That's why Hearn is recruiting and promoting in America. Boots may tip the scale in his favor. He's the KO artist that will make people tune in. Credit Hearn for just being a businessman willing to make money without discrimination or preference unlike Bob Arum.

[@alidaygo619]

He's a smart young man

[@Weedy407]

I’m happy for this kid, I seen him last year being a Tank belt holder

[@hiphopjewels]

It doesn't sounds like a neglect issue. TMT had to take time and work with the kid and pick his fights carefully so they can develop his record and experience without an unnecessary loss. When the kid was knocking people out left and right, it probably made him an undesirable match for other unbeaten young prospects. If he had 4 fights last year, they focused on him all year long. This year has been slow, but he could still get a few fights in this year as well. But, TMT probably wasn't going to invest much more into him during the year his contract expires, until they see what decision he was going to make about staying with them as a promoter. Smart on their part. Now, a new promoter has to get to know him all over again. And, if they rush him into something too early, and he loses, they could ruin him. At 21 years old, I don't know what's the rush. I just hope he is making the right decision for his career. He's smart for not burning any bridges so he can go back if things don't work out. He has about 15 more good years to box, and he should be okay with taking it slow.

[@monte66100]

I wonder is Leonard and Floyd still close

[@MansoryGS]

No matter how many promoters you have,if you dont work and perform hard you aint getting nowhere,promoters dont manage fans,fans chose you and for that you need the sauce to entertain...Almost none get that!

[@MostlyPeacefulNinja]

This is true. You need to develop a character that is relatable to fans or draws their attention. This is an individual sport on almost every level. You gotta make yourself marketable. You don’t have to develop a persona that is completely out of character either. For example, being a humble fighter that kicks azz is a very marketable character. You just gotta package it in a way that fans can relate.

[@khy7672]

It’s sad how much Floyd talk about his influence on boxing and how to make the best fights but none of his fighter ever became a house hold name but Tank then he even left

Another case of a very young fighter who wants what Tank has RIGHT NOW and don’t understand that he has to work themselves up to the bigger fights.. too impatient..and being a fast STAR in boxing? There is only one way to rise fast.. and that’s by being BOX OFFICE SPECIAL whenever you get in the ring by KNOCKING out ur opponents in sensational and dominant show stopping Fashion.. EVERYTIME you fight.. that’s just the bottom line.. also you have to know how to sale urself via ur own personality and building ur own social media followers.. you jus have to know how to be a polorizing figure.. sadly these are things that these young guys don’t understand.. they want BIG FIGHTS NOW!! But they don’t realize that boxing on major undercards is the best opportunity they going to get.. but he will learn the hard way
